Q: Is snorting MDMA worse for you than taking it orally?
A: While the debate as to whether or not MDMA is toxic in its own accord rages on, it is well known that the repeatitive insuffilation (snorting) of any substance is not very good for your mucous membranes. Excessive use can induce bleeding and other trauma. Occasional use should not be a problem, however one must realize that insuffilation causes most substances to come on stronger, faster and with a shorter duration, as well as requiring less substance. If one is already intoxicated or misjudges a dose, the chance of an overdose is a little greater due a steeper dose-response curve.
